In 1989, the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Program recommended that the international community observe July 11 as World Population Day, a day to draw attention to the urgency and importance of the problems demographics. The General Assembly of the United Nations decided, by its resolution 45/1216 (December 1990), to continue to observe World Population Day in order to raise awareness of population problems, including their relationship to the environment and development.
The day was first celebrated in 1990. Since then, a number of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) country offices and other organizations and institutions have commemorated World Population Day, in partnership with governments and civil society.
The Day of the African Child is an international day organized every year since June 16, 1991 by the Organization of African Unity, in memory of the massacre of hundreds of children during a march for their rights in Soweto (Africa South) by the apartheid regime on June 16, 1976.
